Hey Mun,

Thanks for preparing your headspace with an eclectic collection of shady characters and aliens and I don't even know; it really makes me feel at home. You must have been warned that I feel out of place if I'm not surrounded by people who know at least ten unique ways of killing me. And here I thought it was only the Commander who was that thoughtful.

But seriously, though, what are we doing? I'm all up for adventures, sure, but at least vague ideas and goals are generally a good idea, as opposed to "oh hey look, a funny guy." I know I'm hilarious and charming, but that's not the point right now. Direction helps, especially if you're putting me somewhere with the intent of being comic relief, rather than pilot extraordinaire. Just think about it, before you really commit to this. Or at least pretend to?

I have no doubt we'll be talking later.

[Do you know what could possibly make your day even better, Joker? A teenage girl who just thinks you're funny. Yep, that's the only reason why she's graced you with her presence.]

Could be worse. There could be twenty unique ways of killing you.

You'd be surprised what they come up with! I mean...how many people think of killed-by-giant-robot?

[notevengreat]

[This is the best reason to want to talk to him, really. He approves.]

I think you might be surprised by how many times that's come up already, actually. Giant bloodthirsty mechanical things are getting old. At this point, I think I'll take nano-killers for variety.

[beatthebadguys]

Sounds like a fun bunch.

[littlecrowgirl]

Whoa! You can't just diss the classics! I mean that's like saying the old western stand-offs are out of date!

They're never out of date.

[notevengreat]

Really? Because it sounds like an insane asylum to me.

[notevengreat]

But how many stand-offs are you really going to sit through before it starts getting boring?

[littlecrowgirl]

[She stops and thinks about this.]

Depends. I mean if it was a western stand off between a chameleon and a snake, that'd be kinda cool.

I'd be like "Wow, how's that snake hold a gun?"

[beatthebadguys]

At least you'd have a lot of ways to get yourself out of pinch.

[stilcalibrating]

Not up for a little adventure, Joker? And here I thought you enjoyed not knowing what will come next.

[notevengreat]

And even more ways to get into pinches.

[beatthebadguys]

Well that's the fun part!

[notevengreat]

There's something wrong with all of you.

[notevengreat]

Hey, I like adventure just as much as everyone else, but I need to know if I'm going to be facing zombies or synthetics or Cerberus or awkward high school dances.

[notevengreat]

Okay, I'll give you that. But it's more of a situational thing, rather than having anything to do with the stand off. You don't even have to involve guns to be like "oh my god, that snake definitely just ate that giant robot."

[stilcalibrating]

But that's half the fun isn't it? Not knowing exactly what's coming at you? Then again, I think if you're facing awkward high school dances you'd be safe.

...

That.

would be.

2/2

[littlecrowgirl]

Awesome.

You're pretty cool, mister! I mean, that's thinking outside the box! I might just have to steal that creativity!

[notevengreat]

Girls are mean, okay? There are enough on the ship that you should know this by now.

And I don't need specifics, just vague ideas.

[stilcalibrating]

I can't really speak for human females, most of them seem tame to the Turian ones. Besides, they mostly leave me alone, something about about me seems to scare them off.

You could always kick your Mun, or well, I guess you can't. Maybe throw things instead.

[notevengreat]

Yeah, it's called your face, Garrus.

I dunno, you really think throwing things at her would deter her at all, if she decides she wants something?

[notevengreat]

[Joker's just... chuckling and shaking his head at that, like maybe his life is misery and nothing makes sense and it's a good thing you enjoy it little girl.]

I wish I were making it up, but feel free to use it as you see fit.

[stilcalibrating]

Haha, we still making jokes about that are we?

If she decides she wants something just go with it. It can't be any worse than getting stuck with the rest of the psychos she has in there with you.

[littlecrowgirl]

Wait...do snakes really eat giant robots in your world?

No wonder why you don't want to be here.

[notevengreat]

It's still ugly, so... yeah.

I guess. Rooming with this bunch is certainly an experience so far. [...] She can't do anything worse than usual to me, right?

[stilcalibrating]

Define the usual. I'm sure it can't be worse than what Shepard drags us through on a daily basis. Then again, you always get to stay on the ship and not get shot at.
